[SOLVED]openbox menu execute command

I'm new to openbox and I've read its document over and over but for some reasons I can't get the following item in menu to work

  <item label="edit rc">
    <action name="Execute"/>
    <command>xdg-open ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml</command>
  </item>

When I click on this item it doesn't do anything, nothing is printed to stdout neither.  I ran the command in terminal and the file is opened in my text editor.  I changed "xdg-open" to geany (my text editor) and still nothing.  Other items in the menu work.  Can someone give me some pointers?  Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED]openbox menu execute command

First, the action is closed before you put anything in it.

  <item label="edit rc">
    <action name="Execute">
      <command>xdg-open ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml</command>
    </action>
  </item>
